Thinking about going with out a bank account??

With the banks going down and out, thought about going without a bank?? Cash is hard to deal with. Everything has to do with online banking and paying off bills online. But on the other hand banks keep track of you and you need an account for student loans. Plus, overdraft fees and other "hidden" fees with get you later. So what are we suppose to do with everything going bad with the economy and the world market. But we need to build credit and keep it good. I think that there should be another alternative to these problems. I want a system that i dont get overdraft fees or other annual fees that i did not plan for. Being in college has alot to do with money. But i guess for now we need to just stick though this rough patch. hopefully someone is in a position to help.

TV vs the Net

Explains in a view point of why tv is the same but the internet is changings things for every media type; movies, music, books, etc. very interesting about how our media is headed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7644849.stm

Obama and the I-phone

Recently, supporters of Obama made a app. on the I-phone to remind when election date is, who your contacts are supporting, wallpaper, and also, news, videos, and talking points about who to elect. Media use of the I-phone is used for politics. The communication is SO unbelievable about new ways to rally your campaign. I have heard the I-phone has UN-amounted potential but really, this is going to have a huge impact on this and future elections. But how huge? or what are the pros and cons of this?? This is really interesting about how our generations' media is headed.

Football in the Artic Circle?

A H.S. football team is going to play the state playoff game in Alaska first time ever north of the Arctic Circle. And as seen in the photo, polar bears wander around as well, and yet some people don't believe that global warming is happening. Overall, how can people be so ignorant about the current situation about this issue. Even for the first time ever scientist are finding polar bears that are drowning. I strongly recommened everyone watching "The Inconvient Truth". http://www.climatecrisis.net/ this a great film with tons of information.

Palin

Recently, in history class we disscussed what women roles were back in the 1600... mostly during the Salem witch hunts. Right now i was curious about what our society thinks of Sarah Palin. This women as an image to our country, representation as the undecided VP of the U.S.A., why more and more i have seen jokes or spoofs of her in a sexually context. Women have to responsibility of taking care of the home and the family. But why is it i realize that alot of people are still afraid of a women in such power. On NPR, there was a Republican commentor on, his opinion about Palin was undecided. But moreover, on NPR, the evangelist VP of the church, a republican dominated church, was up in the air about Palin and was more in support of Obama in the end. A women in her position has put alot of doubt... but why??
